APEC 2023

TI at APEC 2023

Welcome to our Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) 2022 experience.

Whether you’re attending the show in Orlando or following it virtually, we can help you overcome some of your most critical power-management design challenges. Learn more about what we'll be featuring at the show in the content below.

If you’re attending in person, we invite you to:

  • Join professional education seminars, industry and technical sessions and RAP session hosted by our power experts on trending topics such as gallium nitride (GaN) and isolation.
  • Visit us in booth No. 916. There, we’ll demonstrate system-level solutions that are pushing power further and have experts available to chat about how we can help you innovate your power designs – from engineering a smarter grid to .

Speaking sessions during APEC

Join TI experts for sessions during APEC to learn how to solve your most pressing power design challenges. Register for APEC today to get access to the sessions during the show. Check back after APEC to access our on-demand recordings of the industry sessions.
